[ECOLOG-L] Postdoc – Spatial analysis and modeling of an invasive vector and plant pathogen

An opening is available for a postdoctoral researcher to study the spatial epidemiology of the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) and the citrus disease huanglongbing. The researcher will analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of confirmed or suspected disease cases in California,

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Rugged Tablet Recommendations?

I used an ASUS T100 tablet in bad field conditions (heavy rain, sleet) to download datalogger data, and it worked great. I kept it in a computer case when I wasn't downloading data. These tablets are light, have a long battery life, charge like an Android phone, and you can find them for under

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Rugged Tablet Recommendations?

I recently purchased an iPad with a life proof nuud case, as recommended on this listserv. The case has performed well in tests (eg. submerging it completely), so I’m fairly confident the tablet won’t break. HOWEVER… I haven’t actually been using it for fieldwork lately, because I’m not sure

[ECOLOG-L] Teaching Biomes & Biogeography

I'm scheduled to teach an introductory seminar on global biomes later this fall, and I could use some advice on recent books that give a good overview of the topic. So far the only book on biomes I've been able to find is Woodward's "Biomes of Earth," from about a dozen years ago, but

[ECOLOG-L] Information on isolating fungal pathogens?

Hi Ecologgers, I’ve been trying to grow an invasive wetland grass experimentally in our greenhouse, but rhizome cuttings keep dying. I’ve been told a fungal pathogen (perhaps Pythium) could be the culprit. Now I’m interested in whether the pathogen could be a control agent for the invasive

[ECOLOG-L] Rugged Tablet Recommendations?

Hi Everyone, I am looking to purchase a tablet that I can take to muddy field sites. It will mostly be used to upload data from field equipment. If you have a recommendation for a tablet to buy or a bad one to avoid feel free to share. Ideally I would like to stay within a $1000 budget.
